Enhanced Pinaka rocket, developed by the DRDO, was successfully flight-tested from the Integrated Test Range off the Chandipur coast on Wednesday.
The development of the enhanced Pinaka system was taken up to achieve longer range performance compared to earlier design with reduced length. The design and development were carried out by Pune based DRDO laboratories, said an ITR Press release.
A total of six rockets were launched in quick succession and tests met complete mission objectives. All flight articles were tracked by range instruments such as telemetry.
